IDF: The IDF enabled the evacuation of the Rantisi and Nasser hospitals and opened an additional route to facilitate the movement of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip southward

Following the repeated calls for the residents of Gaza City to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip for their safety, due to the military activity in the area, the IDF enabled the evacuation of the Rantisi and Nasser hospitals.

IDF troops opened and secured an evacuation route yesterday (Friday), along which civilians can go on foot and in ambulances. During the IDF activity to secure the corridor, armed terrorists approached the troops, and fired RPGs toward them. IDF troops struck the terrorists.

The terrorist organization Hamas operates terrorist networks in civilian buildings while cynically exploiting them, including the Rantisi hospital.

Joint IDF and ISA announcement:

The IDF and ISA killed the terrorist who held hostage approximately 1000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital in the Gaza Strip

Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, and with the direction of IDF ground troops, IDF aircraft struck Ahmed Siam, a company commander of the Naser Radwan Company of the Hamas terrorist organization. Two days ago, the IDF spokesperson exposed that Siam held hostage approximately 1000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital and prevented them from evacuating southwards for their safety.

Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in the "al Buraq" school, where additional terrorists under this command were also hiding and were killed. Ahmed Siam demonstrates once again that Hamas uses the civilians of the Gaza Strip as human shields for terror purposes.

IDF: Securing the Bader outpost in the Shati Battalion and elimination of about 150 terrorists in Hamas terrorist strongholds; Operational activity of the 401st Brigade in Gaza Strip territory

The 401st Brigade Combat Squad is striking within the perimeter of Hamas’ Shati regional Battalion. Throughout the days of combat, the soldiers eliminated approximately 150 terrorists and gained control over Hamas’ terrorist strongholds in the northern Gaza Strip.

Included in them is the Haspina outpost, within which an arms production site, launching stations, and an underground network were discovered and subsequently neutralized. The brigade also operated at the Blue Beach Hotel on the coastline in the northern Gaza Strip. About 30 Hamas terrorists fortified themselves in this hotel and fired several anti-tank missiles at IDF forces. After the takeover, it was found that the terrorists used the hotel rooms as shelter and for the benefit of planning attacks above and below ground.

In the last few days, the brigade’s soldiers gained control of the Bader outpost- the main outpost of the Shati Battalion, which is located near civilian buildings. As part of the raid on the outpost, the forces of the 401st Brigade destroyed military headquarters and launch sites. This outpost was the last remaining one on the border of Shati to be destroyed.
